Donna Jefferis

Donna Jefferis, age 78, passed away peacefully at home in Bellingham, WA on August 13, 2025. Donna was born on December 2, 1946, to Donald & Gayle (Travis) Williams in San Francisco, CA. She graduated from Park Rose High School in 1965 and then attended Portland State University.

Donna met her future husband on a blind date at the Diamond Lake Resort in Diamond Lake, OR. Even though the date got off to a rough start, Donna knew that they were meant to be together and on September 8, 1967, Donna married Gary Jefferis. They spent almost 50 years together before Gary’s passing. Together they loved to ballroom dance, play golf, travel (especially to Mexico), and most of all spend time with their grandchildren.

Donna was preceded in death by her husband Gary, parents Donald and Gayle Williams, brother Brian Williams, and brothers-in-law Steven Jefferis and Larry Wright.

She is survived by her daughter Angela (husband Ryan) King, and their children Taylor, Connor, and Katelynn “Kiki,” son Christopher (wife Jennifer) Jefferis and their children, Zakary and Brooke.

Donna will be deeply missed by her family, and all of those who were fortunate to know her.

At Donna’s request there will be no services.
